[CPEO-BIF] McCook Field neighborhood vapor intrusion - Dayton, Ohio

[Lenny Siegel <lsiegel@cpeo.org>]

The 500-home McCook Field neighborhood in Dayton, Ohio is a major vapor 
intrusion site, where TCE sampling inside some homes has actually 
exceeded the emergency action level. U.S. EPA initiated a emergency 
response in 2006, and it added the site to the National Priorities List 
in 2009. Continuing activity is threatened by the bankruptcy of 
auto-manufacturer Chrysler, the responsible party to take action first, 
but EPA recently issued an order to Behr Thermal Systems, the current 
plant operator. Site neighbors, organized into BVOCAL, are insisting on 
a comprehensive response and periodic sampling to ensure that their 
homes are safe.
